Aplausos

Aplausos, 2007

This piece, along with Feedback bouquet, Entropía, Medios vacíos and Sonata cromática encompasses a period of critical and conceptual exploration of the mass media and the spectacle’s forms of manipulation.

Aplausos is a luminous sign like those used in television forums. The piece is designed to be assembled inside a black box or dark room. A device inside the box is programmed to intermittently turn the sign on and off giving a short-circuit effect.

This piece reflects upon the function and control of applause in the entertainment mass media.
